It forms part of the chain of the [[Lesser Sunda Islands]], with the [[Lombok Strait]] separating it from [[Bali]] to the west and the [[Alas Strait]] between it and [[Sumbawa]] to the east. It is roughly circular, with a "tail" ([[Sekotong Peninsula]]) to the southwest, about {{convert|70|km|abbr=off}} across and a total area of about {{convert|4566.54|km2|abbr=off}} including smaller offshore islands. The provincial capital and largest city on the island is [[Mataram (city)|Mataram]]. Lombok is somewhat similar in size and density, and shares some cultural heritage with the neighboring island of [[Bali]] to the west. However, it is administratively part of [[West Nusa Tenggara]], along with the larger but less densely populated island of [[Sumbawa]] to the east. Lombok is surrounded by a number of smaller islands locally called [[Gili Islands|Gili]]. The island was home to some 3,168,692 people as recorded in the decennial 2010 census<ref name="Biro Pusat Statistik 2011" /> and 3,758,631 in the 2020 Census;<ref name="Badan Pusat Statistik 2021">Badan Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 2021.</ref> the official estimate as at 2024 was 4,056,621.<ref name="Badan Pusat Statistik 2025">Badan Pusat Statistik NTB, 28 February 2025, ''Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat Dalam Angka 2025'' (Katalog-BPS 1102001.52)</ref> ''[[wikt:lomboq|Lomboq]]'' is [[Sasak language|Sasak]] for ''straight, honest''.
